Thankful for all I have. Thankful for my Savior and for the grace He offers to all. This week was one that really helped me understand and think more about how lucky I am to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and to know truth. I'm grateful for my mission and for the lessons I've been able to learn because of it. I just feel different but better. I guess that's what the Atonement does for us.
This week we had transfers so that meant tons of office work and driving missionaries around. After 4 trips to the airport, some sad goodbyes to some of my best friends, and seeing the arrival of a new group of missionaries, we finally got back to the grind in our area.
Friday night we were out tracting and within 8 doors we found a less active family with unbaptized children, two new people to teach at the next couples doors, and we were able to just enjoy being missionaries. It was amazing. Two of the people we found were so sweet and let us right in. One of them was named Ina and she told us after we shared the Restoration with her that she just felt a "stirring" in her heart. That's the best way to describe the spirit. It was amazing.
We also had to get dinner late one night this week so we went to Arby's at like 8:45. We both for some reason felt like we needed to go inside to order, so we did. Well, inside we met Lexci who is so amazing. She was our cashier and we gave her a card and invited her to church. Well, Sunday morning we are at church and guess who walks in, Lexci. We were so pumped and she loved the service!! It was such a cool experience to have a miracle like that.
Lastly, we were able to set a date with a girl we are teaching named Kayla. She is dating a member and kept asking questions about the church. We met with her and explained some things and she said that everything just made sense. She loved the Book of Mormon and what it offers. She was even so excited that she went home and taught her mom the whole restoration and her mom even liked it. We're pretty pumped about Kayla.
God is definitely a God of miracles.
Anyways, this week was a blessing. Any week in the mission field is a blessing. I feel so lucky to get to share the truth that I know with the people of Texas. There is no where else I'd rather be in my life right now. Thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who puts me in places that I need to be and will continually work with me. Grateful for a Savior that lives. I love being His servant.
Love y'all and God bless!!!
